HC Deb 05 May 1931 vol 252 c218W
Dr. SALTER

asked the Minister of Transport what is the amount of the gross receipts for the calendar year 1930 of the railway companies of Great Britain, distinguishing between passenger and goods traffic?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The particulars asked for by my hon. Friend are:

Railways of Great Britain. Year 1930.
£
Gross passenger train receipts 83,700,000
Gross goods train receipts 99,500,000
Miscellaneous receipts 1,700,000
Total railway receipts £184,900,000

The foregoing figures are provisional, as full particulars had not been received from some of the smaller railway companies when the aggregate figures were compiled.
